WyoMINo CArrLraeN LOSING Mon.

WYOMING CATrLEMEN LOSING Mon
Ey.--At Laramie the other day, says
an Eastern paper, there was an arbi-
tration among certain Chicago cattle
men which brought out facts about
the cattle trade more startling than
any one not familiar with the situa-
ton could be made to believe This
matter at Laramie was over series
of accounts which had been rendered
by the manager of an extensive ranch
in Wyoming Territory, where the ex-
penses of feeding had, in sin
gle Winter, taken about half what the
beeves were worth. Bankers out there
testified, so did ranchmen, so did Eng
lishmen, who are the owners of the
great herds. The tenor of all their
evidence was that cstte-raising in
Wyoming was doomed, that the grass
was gone for good, and that cattle
alive in the Spring would have
cost more than they would bring
to sell. A Chicago lawyer, who ac-
companied the Chicago men out to
Wyoming to take the testimony, told
the writer that he mingled with the
Englishmen who had bought interests
in cattle ranches, and that he was at
Laramie. They are, he found, all
striving to get out. They see their
fate, and are only anxious to save
some of the wreckage. The bunch
grass is gone-the long, heavy grass
of the prairies, which is juicy and fat
tening in the Summer, and which in
Winter dries standing, SO that with
even two feet of snow on the ground,
its cured tops rise above the surface.
1t has been burned over by prairie
fires, tramplcd on by thousands of
hoofs and eaten by the cattle, until
it has at last been driven out. Now
the whole cattle grazing country is in
a panic. The beeves are going into
fierce Winter with fodder. At
Laramie the Englishmen say that
overcrowding has eaten the grass so
fast that sod, root and all has been de-
vouret. The result will be vast
and widespread liquidation among the
cattle raisers.

IDAHO REPORTER: We yield to no
living American in patriotism but it
makes us very tired to read in some
of our exchanges of "the greatest
Government in the world" 1t is all
wrong to teach this to young men
and women. Teach them rather that
the nation is defenceless; teach them
that the Government is corrupt and
in one branch-that of the Senate,
the positions are bought and sold;
teach them that the most intricate
conspiracies are on foot each day and
passing hour to Cypress the poor and
defenceless; teach them that there
are ropes and prisons only for class
teach them that our Government is
great only in wealth and that decay
has come upon US; teach them to
prepare to correct these evils.
Hon. P. l.. Hughes is out with an ex-
tensive letter in the Register giving
his reasons for going to Nevada.
We think we can give them in fewer
words than has the honorable gentle
man. Mr.. Hughes is a railroad en-
ploye-the roads are in favor of the
scheme because they think they can
control the State Government under
the new order of things. There IS
the alpha and omega--the beginning
and the end.

The Carson Appeal says: Fish of
Woshoe made good argument in
the Senate Chamber Yesterday
against the nonsense of official bonds.
He pointed out the fact that frequent
ly voters said that certain candidates
were not responsible men, but that
their bondsmen would be, and so they
elected them. If they defaulted, the
bondsmeu orawled out of paying
and so the taxpayers lost through a
mistaken notion that when men put
their signatures on bond they must
make it good if necessary. The bond
business is farce throughout. Take
away official bonds, and if officials are
defaulters, send them to the peniten-
tiary. Do away with bonds and vo-
ters will be more careful in electing
good, responsible men.

He answers that so far from extinguish-

in eighty years, it would pay only eleven
twelfths of the interest. This is the bill
Charles Francis Adams asks Congress to
pass without investigation and without
question.

The Edmunds fisheries retaliation

speech of Senator ingalls, caused a

denunciation of England was bitter

of vicious tricks, including kicking and
backing. At last start was made,
with Poteen in the lead, Montrose
second, Jim Gore third, Libretto fourth,
anG BIxby last. At the third quarter
Lewis had put Montrose in the lead,

closely with Poteen in the third place, and
Libretto and Bixby in their same order.

as he did so a bullet whistled

companion, who had been dazed, now
grasped the Teins, and dashed the
horses through the square into James

there was a hostile crowd, who again

In The House of Commons.

LONDON, May 23.-Tn the Common.
this afternoon, SirF James Ferguson
Parliamentary Secretary for the foreign
Office intimated that no reply had been
received from the United States Govern
menu to Lord Salisbury's despatch of
March 9th, relative to the fisheries
dispute. Similar measures, he said would
be adopted for the approaching fsheri. s

with moderation.
Balfour, Chief Secretary of Ireland
replying to Gladstone, tonight, prom.
ised to procure, during the recess, the
returns of the Irish agrarian crime bill
to the end of May.
W. II. Smith, First Lord of the
Treasury, said governments views re-
garding the amendments to the crimes
bill, were that those amendments which
related to Intimidation, should be de-
cided upon in committee. The other
amendments were not CT a serious
nature until they came to Sir Charles
Russell's amendments for the omission
of the subsection relating to the White
boy acts. The government would with
draw that subsection for the present,
reserving the right and power to re-
store it at ally stage.
Timothy Healy suggested that the
bill be recommitted for reconsideration
of the Whiteboy clause.
Belfour said. in no case would
the White5oy acts be embodied in the
bill, but it was proposed to add any
offense covered by the Whiteboy act,
where such action might be thought
desirable.
Marvin, Nationalist, moved an ad.
ditional proviso to the effect that while
cases of boycotting and other minor
otfenses be tried summarily by magis-
trates, cases involving conspiracy and
other serious charges, must be tried by
superior court. The amendment was
negatived-217 to 126.
Smith proposed, as an amendment,
that the lase TWO lines of subsection
be added to clause 2, the effect
of which would be to exclude six amend
merts. Carried under clOture, 100 to
